What is CBF?

We are the college-based fees committee for Cal Poly's journalism department. 

From Cal Poly's Liberal Arts CBF site:

The fee process in the College of Liberal Arts is overseen by the CLA Student Council, in conjunction with the CLA Dean, Linda Halisky. Basically, they make sure that department expenditure plans conform with:

1. the fee plan guidelines for Cal Poly and
2. specific criteria developed by the College of Liberal Arts in '01-02.

CBF budgets for the following academic year are determined each spring by a committee of students in each department (in the spring of '05, students will develop a budget for CBF expenditures for AY '05-06). During the academic year, committees made up of students from each department will review how funds are spent and make adjustments as necessary.

But who are WE, specifically? Our commmitee is comprised of four members:

• Ashley Chaney, broadcast chair
• Giana Magnoli, print chair
• Elizabeth Poeschl, PR chair
• Lauren Rabaino, at-large 

We are dedicated to making sure your student fee money is well-spent. In prior years, the committee lacked transparency and direction. We're changing it up. On this blog, you can expect to find minutes from our meetings, announcements and any other issues that arise during our time.
